Coconut or copra oil-cake and oil-cake meal, expeller variety

NO PGA · STANDARD CUSTOMS PROCEDURE

HSN 2306 50 10 (coconut or copra oil-cake and oil-cake meal, expeller variety) is not covered by a Bureau of Indian Standards Quality Control Order and carries no Partner Government Agency clearance requirement at the tariff-line level. Import follows the standard customs procedure: Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), bill of entry, commercial invoice, packing list. Other solid residues from vegetable oil extraction used as compounded animal feed may fall under separately classified tariff lines in Chapter 23 that attract their own compliance requirements.

No partner government agency notification covers this tariff line.
A word of counsel

Oil-cake products intended for use as animal feed inputs or mixed into compounded feed preparations can attract regulatory scrutiny under food and feed safety frameworks, particularly where the end-use shifts from raw residue to a formulated product. Re-classification on customs examination — for instance, if the consignment is assessed as a prepared animal feed rather than a raw extraction residue — triggers retrospective compliance and potential detention. Verify product specification, intended use, and moisture or solvent-extraction status against the customs tariff before relying on the absence of compliance at this tariff line.
